Highlights
Two park rangers warm quick-witted Quinn and old-soul storyteller Boone — narrate automatically by GPS as you drive the Historic Columbia River Highway, so your eyes stay on the road and the waterfalls, not a screen. You roll past seven waterfalls and the cliff-top Vista House while they unspool the Gorge's legends and lost history. Works fully offline — the Gorge has spotty signal. Buy once, keep it forever.

Itinerary
Oregon's crown jewel and one of the tallest year-round waterfalls in America — 620 feet plunging in two great steps beneath the iconic Benson Bridge. The tour times your arrival and tells you the legend of the maiden who gave her life on this cliff.
A 176-foot plume that drops right at the edge of the pavement — no hike, no crowd to fight, just pull over and there it is. One of the easiest jaw-drops on the entire corridor.
A slot canyon so narrow and green it looks like a crack in the world — a Gorge secret most drivers blow right past at speed. The tour makes sure you catch it.
Not a sheer plunge but a tumbling, mossy cascade — the corridor's graceful counterpoint to all the straight drops. The tour points out what makes this one special up close.
A short walk down through big-leaf maples and over an arched footbridge to a two-tiered fall you meet face-to-face — the rare one you experience from below instead of craning up at.
An easy-to-miss pullout at a graceful old stone bridge, hiding a delicate fall in a fern-draped nook. The story of the man who gave this dell away is one you'd never guess.
249 feet of water plunging clean off a sheer wall of black basalt ringed in startling bright-yellow lichen — arguably the most striking single drop on the whole drive.
An octagonal stone palace perched 733 feet above the Columbia, with the single best panorama of the Gorge. The tour tells you why they built a 'temple' out on a cliff's edge.

About Portland
Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.
Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.
Top-ranked sights in Portland: Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
